Gabe and Pippa needed a fresh start with their two daughters. What is a more perfect refresh than a cottage in a small coastal town in Australia with cliffs in your backyard? Yes, this is just what they dreamed of. But this dream quickly turns into a nightmare when they realize the cliff is where people go to end their lives. Gabe has successfully thwarted numerous suicide attempts by talking people from the edge, but one day he doesn’t. A woman jumps. But Gabe and Pippa know this woman. She was the wife of Gabe’s former boss. As questions lead to more questions, Pippa knows she has to protect her family at all costs. But is the price too high?
THE SOULMATE by Sally Hepworth is a mind-bending psychological thriller unlike any I have read. This book blew my mind with the twists and turns. We get this story from two points of view. We get Pippa’s side. This is a story of a woman madly in love with her husband and daughters. A woman who will go to any length to nurture, love, and protect them. We also get Amanda’s side. A woman who married for the sake of being married. As the story moves along, we get further and further into the past and present of both women’s lives, what shaped them, and what made them make their decisions. And how two women who didn’t really know each other in life, are now forever bonded in one woman’s death.
THE SOULMATE is the first book I have read by Sally Hepworth, but I can assure you, I will be hitting my library to get everything she has ever written. This book engaged me from page one and didn’t let up until I turned the final page and then I sat there asking myself, what did I just read? How did I not see that coming? Nothing is ever as it seems and THE SOULMATE makes that abundantly clear. If you are new to the thriller, or suspense genre, start here. If this is your go-to genre, do not miss out on this book. This book is brilliant.
Get ready for a thrilling, addictive novel about marriage, betrayal, and the secrets that push us to the edge.
